THANKFUL HEARTS

Today's reading: Psalm 137-139

"Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept as we thought of Jerusalem. We put away our lyres, hanging them on the branches of the willow trees. For there our captors demanded a song of us, Sing us one of those songs of Jerusalem! But how can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?" Psalm 137:1-4 NLT

There have been days over this past few years when a whole heap of us felt like the exiled Jews on foreign soil.

Lives have been disrupted.

Sadness abounds.

Chaos is everywhere.

Joy has been stretched until it is paper thin.

But friends, we have a reason to sing our songs of the Lord!

He is so good. His faithfulness never wavers. His promises remain true and steadfast and dependable.

So in this time of desperation...let us sing songs of our Lord while on this foreign soil!

We have so very much to be thankful for.
